TN Stars form and stats

6 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what TN Stars have to build on here at Kasungu Stadium  in the Super League. The last three games played by Stars, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

Stars manager and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Blue eagles Malawi (placed 12th) in the Super League.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Ekwendeni Hammers that ended 0-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Stars have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost zero.

The Stars fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. TN Stars's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
